Dawson, who passed 1,000 first-class runs in an English domestic season for the first time this summer, will join a Prime Bank team currently sixth in the table, with roughly half of the fixtures played.

Their squad also includes Essex and England all-rounder Ravi Bopara.

"Ravi Bopara contacted me, saying his team wanted me to play, so that was nice. As soon as he said that, I spoke to a few people and managed to sort it out," explained Dawson.
